Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for regulating the precise filling level of a coolant in a cooling circuit of a motor vehicle, in particular in a coolant storage tank, wherein a coolant circulates for cooling a drive motor and / or other devices. In this case, a hydrodynamic retarder is arranged in the cooling circuit, the working medium of which is the cooling medium of the cooling circuit. Background technique
[0002] Cooling cycles of this type have been known several times in the prior art. Usually, for braking by means of a hydrodynamic retarder, part of the cooling medium circulated in the cooling circuit is introduced into the working chamber formed by the main impeller (rotor) and the secondary impeller (stator). Depending on the quantity of cooling medium (filling degree) that is present in the working chamber as working medium, the torque is transmitted more or less hydraulically from the main impeller to the secondary impeller, whereby the...
